Sandra,

Any more or less important migration should be tested first. Unavailability of the test environment is a bad argument - you get what you pay for. So one of the best advices would be, obviously - test it first.

I had no problem with restoring 32 to 64 and 64 to 32 bit (10.2). One member of the list mentioned that he encountered problems with 64->32 bit restore/recovery so testing is a must.

Cheers,
Alex
